"This book was my introduction to the series. I really enjoy it but I find the overly exuberant female narrator to not reflect Sue’s personality. The male narrator David Collacci who has also narrated the Donna Leon Italian mystery Brunetti series plays Matt to a T! I think he would have done fine with Karen. In this series they rent an RV and travel around the west part of the United States visiting National Parks. If you like hearing about travel adventures then this book is for you."
